SUMMARY:Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox: A Very Postmodern Christmas
DESCRIPTION:When New York City pianist Scott Bradlee created Postmodern Jukebox out of a basement in Queens in 2011\, his goal was simple: to remake the pop hits of today into the classic sounds of the legends of yesterday. Miley Cyrus became The Platters. Bruno Mars became Frank Sinatra. The Spice Girls became The Andrews Sisters. Guns ’n’ Roses became Bessie Smith. \nNow\, nearly a decade later\, Postmodern Jukebox has grown to become a pop culture mainstay in its own right\, having played over a thousand shows on six continents worldwide — including acclaimed venues like Radio City Music Hall\, Sydney Opera House\, and Red Rocks Amphitheater. In the process\, PMJ has introduced audience to many of the world’s greatest singers\, dancers\, and instrumentalist — many of whom have gone on to become stars in their own right. \nOne part celebration of vintage music and culture\, one part “’Saturday Night Live’ for singers”\, a Postmodern Jukebox show is an unforgettable trip back in time that makes Pop Music History — in your own hometown. \nTickets are $39\, $49\, $89 and $109\, with limited VIP packages available for $139 and $189. Please contact the box office at 877.571.SHOW (7469) for more information.

SUMMARY:Club 321 featuring Aaron and the Lord\, with opener Evan Kenney
DESCRIPTION:Club 321 featuring Aaron and the Lord\nwith opener Evan Kenney \nThursday\, December 8\, 2022\nDoors: 6:15pm  |  Show: 7:00pm \nAges 21+ / Presented by Mechanics Hall & 90.5 FM WICN Public Radio \nAaron and the Lord is the new venture of Aaron Perrino (the voice of the Sheila Divine\, the short-lived but much-loved Boston band in the early 2000s) and Steven Lord (multi-instrumentalist of the soulful rock band Dirty Bangs).  For this Club 321\, Perrino and Lord will perform their vivid\, slicing indie-rock songs\, with nods back to the chiming guitars and stentorian vocals of the bands they grew up on and forward to a new kind of pop-rock future.  Learn more about Aaron and the Lord \nThe program will be opened by guitarist Evan Kenney. Born outside of Boston\, Kenney grew up with his dad’s soul and rock n’ roll records blasting in the house all day\, every day. At age 12\, he discovered skateboarding\, which helped him find and fall in love with punk rock. After years of fronting bands like Read Yellow\, Bodega Girls\, Thunderbloods\, Dirty Bangs\, and Labor Hex\, Kenney has created a solo album entitled “Trouble Boy.” With songs about love\, loss\, and everything in between\, “Trouble Boy” draws musical inspiration from everyone from Buck Owens to The Jesus and Mary Chain.\n  \nAbout Club 321\nClub 321 is a new partnership between the Mechanics Hall Modern Mechanics Guild and WICN to present contemporary sounds for adult audiences. \nTickets are $18 purchased in advance; $20 at the door.
